COOKING STOVE OR RANGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 19, 1907.

Application filed January 30. 1907i Serial No. 354.885.

York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking Stoves or 4Ranges, ot' which the following is a specitication.

The invention relates to cooking-stoves or ranges; and' it consists of e novel arrangement oit heat-conducting iiues, whereby t e circulation of heet is so conducted and retarded, especially beneath the oven, that the heet will b 'e retained in the flues a much longer period of time than is usual in this type of stove, thus .insuring :i greater heating capacity for the oven, and thereby-a better and quicker baking uality.

Myarrengement o vdues is not only advantageous in the larger stoves or ranges, Such as are used in hotels, clubs, etc., but is equally desirable in the smaller stoves or ranges, where it is not required or found necessary to maintain an exceedingly hot fire at al times, as where 'the economy desirable, incident to domestic use, would be a consideration.

have not considered it necessary to show, in the'drawing, en oven on each side of the fire-box, but it will be understood, and it will be obvious,-that the construction hereinafter described may be duplicated in so far as the oven and the, arrangement oi' flues and dempers are concerned.

In the drawing-Figure 1 is c longitudinal section of a stove or range constructed in aecordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a horizontal section on line o aof Fig. 1, showing the plate immediately below the oven, and Fig. 3 a similar view tellen on line t b of Fig. 1, showing the arrangement of the de'ileetor or baille-plate for .directing und retarding the 'flow ot heat.

Referring to the several views, the numeral 1 indicates the casing of the stove; 2 the 'iire-boix, :1nd 3 the oven. These several purts may be oi' the usual or any approved' construction, and the casing may be ornemcntedin the customary manner.

ottoni of the oven and the plate 6, into un upper and lower tino, communication being hed b means of en elongated opening 5 in said pihte.

Extending from the rear wall of the casing is a defiector or bathe-plete 7, which extends, preferably, a slight distance beyond the center of the plete 6, and in a slightly diverging line, so that the flow of heat, as it passes through the opening 5,' will be directed toward the center of the lower ilue, said opening being so positioned that the low of heat, after passing under the oven, will )ass through the opening nearer to the haelt of the oven, from whence it will be deiieoted or directed, .by the deilector, to the center and every part of said lower flue, at the same time being retarded in its passage there through.

`The lower ilue, at the back of the casing, is provided. with an exit 8, which is controlled by a damper 9 pivoted tou the back of the casing at 10. The dum )er is operated by a rod 11, which is pivotaily-connected to the demper at 12, and, extending to the iront of the stove, is provided with a knob 13.

The passage ol the products of combustion and the flow of heat, around the oven and through the ilues, are controlled or regulated by e damper-15, located between the iiues 14 and 16. l

The top of the stove or range is provided with the usual openings 1.7 and covers 18, and the walls of the upper and lower ilues are provided with openings 19, normally closed by doors 20, so that-said I'lues may be cleaned when desired.

In the o eration of the stove, the draft is esteblishe(r by opening dampers 15 and 9. The products of combustion will pass over the top of the oven, through the open damper 15 into flue 16; thence through the upper fluey beneath the oven und down through opening 5 into the lower flue, from whence they will be drawn into the exit-flue (not shown) through the exit-opening S, it being understood that there is suflieient draft in the smoke-stack or chimney to drew the products of combustion down around .the oven and through theeXit-opening. After the draft is established and 1t is desired to heat the oven, thel damper 9 may be closed, and the degree of heat regulated by the damper 15', the obnoxious gases passing out through domper 9, which muy be of tl i'e usual construction.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim, is-

1. In a cooking-stove or range, the combi- 2 samer nation with the oven, spaced from the bottom of the. stove or range to form a heatspace below the oven, a horizontal divisionplate dividing said heat-space into two longitudinal flues, one above the other, saiddivision-plate being provided with an elongated .Q lening extending transversely thereof, fron'near its rear edge and near the firebox, and aretarder or baffle-plate, in the lower flue extending from the rear of the stove.

2. In a cooking-stove or range, the combination withY the oven, spaced from the bot'- tom of the stove to form a heat-space below the oven, a horizontal division-plate dividing said heat-space into two longitudinal lues,

one above the other, said division-plate be rear edge and near the re-box, a retarder or 20 baffle-p ate arranged in the lower flue to eX- tend from the rearof the stove, and dampers for controlling and regulating the ilow of heat through th'e'ues, and around tlie oven.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thisA specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
